Legal claims defining the scope of protection. Each claim is shown in both the original legal language and a plain English translation.
1. A pixel array architecture of a display, the pixel array architecture comprising a matrix of subpixels grouped into pixels, the matrix of subpixels arranged in a substantially square matrix oriented at substantially a 45 degree angle relative to a horizontal direction of the display, wherein the subpixels are arranged into pixels, and the pixels arranged into rows and columns, each pixel having three subpixels forming a right angle shape oriented in one of a first direction and a second direction opposite from the first direction.
A display's pixel arrangement uses a grid of subpixels grouped into pixels. This subpixel grid is arranged like a square but rotated 45 degrees relative to the screen's horizontal edge. The subpixels form pixels, which are in turn arranged in rows and columns. Each pixel contains three subpixels arranged in a right-angle shape, with the right angle oriented either in one direction or the opposite direction.
2. The pixel array architecture of claim 1 , wherein the pixels are arranged one atop each other in columns such that alternating columns comprise pixels having three subpixels forming right angle shapes oriented in opposite directions.
Building upon the pixel array architecture where a grid of subpixels is grouped into pixels, arranged in a square matrix rotated 45 degrees, and where each pixel has three subpixels forming a right angle, this implementation stacks pixels on top of each other in columns. Critically, adjacent columns alternate the orientation of the right-angle shape of the three subpixels in each pixel.
3. The pixel array architecture of claim 2 wherein each subpixel is shaped in the form of a square oriented at one of 0 degrees and 45 degrees from the horizontal direction of the display, and wherein each pixel comprises a green subpixel, a blue subpixel, and a red subpixel.
Expanding on the pixel array architecture featuring a 45-degree rotated subpixel grid, pixels with three subpixels in right-angle shapes, and alternating right-angle orientations in adjacent columns, each individual subpixel is shaped like a square. These squares are aligned either at 0 or 45 degrees relative to the display's horizontal axis. Furthermore, each pixel consists of a green subpixel, a blue subpixel, and a red subpixel.
4. A pixel array architecture of a display, the pixel array architecture comprising a matrix of subpixels grouped into pixels, the matrix of subpixels arranged in a substantially square matrix oriented at substantially a 45 degree angle relative to a horizontal direction of the display, wherein the subpixels are arranged into pixels, and the pixels arranged into rows and columns, each pixel having three subpixels and formed into an “I” shape slanted at 45 degrees relative to the horizontal direction, and wherein the pixels are arranged in columns in a repeating pattern, in groups of two, one atop each other and overlapping only by two subpixels, with a vertical gap of a single subpixel in height between groups, the gap including a subpixel of a pixel of each neighboring column.
A display's pixel arrangement uses a grid of subpixels grouped into pixels. This subpixel grid is arranged like a square but rotated 45 degrees relative to the screen's horizontal edge. Each pixel has three subpixels shaped like a slanted "I" (tilted at 45 degrees). These pixels are arranged in columns, repeating every two pixels. Each pair of pixels vertically overlap by two subpixels. There's a single subpixel-height gap between these pairs of pixels, which includes a subpixel from a pixel in each neighboring column.
5. The pixel array architecture of claim 4 wherein each subpixel is shaped in the form of a square oriented at one of 0 degrees and 45 degrees from the horizontal direction of the display, and wherein each pixel comprises a green subpixel, a blue subpixel, and a red subpixel.
Elaborating on the pixel array architecture using a 45-degree rotated subpixel grid, pixels with three subpixels in slanted "I" shapes, and the specific repeating column pattern with overlapping pairs and gaps, each individual subpixel is shaped like a square. These squares are aligned either at 0 or 45 degrees relative to the display's horizontal axis. Each pixel contains a green, a blue, and a red subpixel.
6. A pixel array architecture of a display, the pixel array architecture comprising a matrix of subpixels grouped into pixels, the matrix of subpixels arranged in a substantially square matrix oriented at substantially a 45 degree angle relative to a horizontal direction of the display, wherein the subpixels are arranged into pixels, and the pixels arranged into rows and columns, each pixel having three subpixels and formed into “I” shapes slanted in one of a positive 45 degree slope and a negative 45 degree slope.
A display's pixel arrangement uses a grid of subpixels grouped into pixels. This subpixel grid is arranged like a square but rotated 45 degrees relative to the screen's horizontal edge. Each pixel consists of three subpixels shaped like a slanted "I," where the slant can be either positive 45 degrees or negative 45 degrees.
7. The pixel array architecture of claim 6 , wherein the pixels are arranged in columns in a repeating pattern, one atop each other, alternating in slant form negative 45 degrees to positive 45 degrees, overlapping only by two subpixels, forming a snaking vertical pattern identical in geometry to a pattern of adjacent columns.
Further specifying the pixel array architecture with a 45-degree rotated subpixel grid and pixels with slanted "I" shapes (positive or negative 45 degrees), the pixels are arranged in columns, one above the other, alternating the slant of the "I" shape. They overlap vertically by two subpixels, creating a snaking vertical pattern, and this snaking pattern mirrors that of adjacent columns.
8. The pixel array architecture of claim 7 wherein each subpixel is shaped in the form of a square oriented at one of 0 degrees and 45 degrees from the horizontal direction of the display, and wherein each pixel comprises a green subpixel, a blue subpixel, and a red subpixel.
Continuing from the pixel array architecture featuring a 45-degree rotated subpixel grid, pixels with alternating slanted "I" shapes arranged in a snaking pattern, and the two-subpixel overlap, each subpixel is shaped like a square, oriented at either 0 or 45 degrees relative to the display's horizontal axis. Every pixel is composed of one green, one blue, and one red subpixel.
9. The pixel array architecture of claim 6 , wherein the pixels are arranged in columns in a repeating pattern, one atop each other, alternating in slant form negative 45 degrees to positive 45 degrees, overlapping only by two subpixels, forming a snaking vertical pattern, wherein for one of the odd or even columns, each upper pixel sits atop a pixel below it on a longest side of the pixel below, wherein for the other of the odd or even columns an upper pixel sits atop a pixel below it on a shortest side of the pixel below.
Deepening the details of the pixel array architecture with a 45-degree rotated subpixel grid, pixels with alternating slanted "I" shapes forming a snaking column pattern, and the two-subpixel overlap, in either the odd or even columns, each upper pixel sits atop the longest side of the pixel below it.

Expanding on the diamond-shaped four-subpixel pixel architecture with a 45-degree rotated subpixel grid, the pixels are arranged in vertical columns, one above the other. Each pixel overlaps the adjacent one by two subpixels, creating a snaking vertical column pattern which is identical to the patterns in adjacent columns. The left and right subpixels of each pixel are shared with the left and right neighboring pixels, respectively.
13. The pixel array architecture of claim 12 wherein the first and second unshared subpixels are a green and a white subpixel and wherein the third and fourth shared subpixels are a red and a blue subpixel.
In the pixel array architecture featuring diamond-shaped pixels with four subpixels (two shared, two unshared), arranged in snaking columns with two-subpixel overlap and shared side subpixels, the two unshared subpixels are a green and a white subpixel.

A display's pixel arrangement involves subpixels arranged in rows and columns. The subpixels are based on a grid that is aligned to a 45 degree angle relative to the horizontal direction of the display. This grid is then skewed such that subpixels align vertically in every third subpixel row. The resulting structure allows for a reduced pixel pitch (distance between pixels).
